The people of Tucson. Arizona, buy 81
900 copies of their local paper every
month for the purpose of sending it
abroad and in addition pay it $500 a
month for special 'write-ups." The town
of Lamar. Col, recently paid the local

Hutchinson, Kansas, claims to give its
local paper bonus of $1,000 year fol-

in this, as the money is paid for legiti'

The affair, which consisted of a church
fair and entertainment, was given in the

eseo.
The fakir who recently visited Moline
and succeeded in doing considerable sue
cessful fleeing IN that industrious SUBJ
urb, met his match in Geneseo. Lincoln
Young, a clerk, was too much for him.
The Henry County NeUs reports that Mr..
Fakir opened up his traps and calamities
in buggy as was his custom. He had
put a one dollar bill in one lid of big
yellow watch, and, flourishing ten dol
lar bill said. without looking at it.
81 will now proceed eetput this one
dollar bill in the other lid. Now, who
will dare to give me $40 for the chain,
and | will throw in the watch and the
two one dollar bills"
Of course q good many in the crowd
thought he had made a mistake regarding
the denomination of the last bill. This
was what he intended to have them
think. He intended to slip the ten dollar
bill from the lid of the watch by sights
of hand trick familiar to these gentry.
Lincoln Young bid $40 for the outfit, and
without giving the fakir an opportunity
to play his trick, leaped up, and grabbed
the watch, money and all from his hand
He then took the ten dollar bill from the
watch and flung the fakir his $40. The
fakir at once leaped from the buggy and
grappled with Young, who wrenched
away from him. The box in the buggy
had between $500 to $500 in it. besides {
big lot of jewelry. In many towns the
crowd would have upset the buggy, ane
flung money and all upon the street.
The man was professional robber, and
deserved ho better treatment. He leapet
back to his buggy making loud threats o
arresting Young He afterwards follow
ed Young to his boarding place and trie'
to compromise with him, in which he dit
not succeed. He said at the hotel that i
was the first time he had ever bee

From the Revue international de + Electrieite.
Prof. Weisner, of Vienna, has just
called attention to an Inconvenience at
tending the use of the electric light in
libraries. 1t has been found that large
number of works in the library of the
technical school had become very yellow,
and this led the director of the establish
ment to ask Prof. Weisner to ascertain
the cause of it. Experiment has shown
that the celebration is due to light, but
that it occurs only with paper containing
ligneous substances, such as wood, straw
and jute, and that it does not take
place when, through some chem
ical process, the lignine that
forms the essential part Of the wood
is removed. The yellowing is due to a
phenomenon of oxidation. Solar light
acts more energetically than dispersed
daylight, which itself exerts very slight
action when it IS much diffused, and es
pecially in very dry room. Gaslight is
nearly harmless, by reason of the few re.
frangible rays that it contains. On the
contrary, as the electric light and, In gen.
eral, all intense luminous sources, emf
numerous refrangible rays, they favor the
following. As regards the preservation
of papers, then, it will be well to choos
gas rather than the electric light for tin
| illumination of libraries.
